If the Bible is inspired by God through man, why are there so many different interpretations of Scripture. Even if man makes mistakes writing the original cannonized Scripture, you would think the Holy Spirit would still guide man's hand so that Scritpure would be clear, especially on essential Christian doctrine, and not open for in house debates (i.e., Seventh Day Adventists on the Sabbath, and Penticostal on the Rapture ??? I have been a Born Again Christian for 45 years..LOTS OF LOVE-GOD BLESS | ||||||

I was a missionary for some years. We were from a variety of denominations. There was a basic set of beliefs that we had to agree to. These beliefs are held by most every denomination. There are some minor belief differences, but the core ones are the same. A few denominations like the Seventh Day Adventists tend to drift from the saved by grace and return to laws, such as worship on the sabbath, but the rest agree the New Testament is by grace alone. The Charismatic vs fundamentalist disagreement is basically based on interpretation of history in acts. History interpretation, such as the timing of the baptism by the Holy Spirit, unless clearly supported by teaching (Words of Jesus, Peter, or writings like Paul's) tends to be a rich source of the different interpretations. I simply say, My interpretation is wrong in some places. I try to get better, but God uses all of his children that are willing, despite the misbeliefs. When you meet a true brother, the love is amazing, despite differences in beliefs. The Holy Spirit is guiding us into all truth, and he is uniting us in love. greentwiga |

I agree, the core Gospel of Jesus Christ has always been the same for Born Again Christians. I just don't understand all these different interpretations on the same scripture (such as pre-trib, post trib, rapture, so on), albeit, they may be side issues. they confuse me??? | ||||||

Hi, I read your personal profile and you sure have your hands full. I hope you don’t get bogged down by trying to do the work that the Holy Spirit of God is doing. I use to beat myself up with trying to convince people of the Gospel until the truth of the following finally sank in; and I mean there were many tearful hours. John 16:7-9 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9Of sin, because they believe not on me; We never have to defend the Word of God, even to an atheist, it’s a weapon. Weapons are not defended; they are used against the enemy. I also use to be quite perplexed about the same side issues that you mentioned, “Different interpretations on the same scripture (such as pre-trib, post trib, rapture, so on), albeit, they may be side issues.” I read a book that cleared it all up for me and you might want to check it out? It’s not for someone that doesn’t like to read though because it has over 500 pages! The Sign by Robert Van Kampen ISBN 0-89107-756-1 CDBJ |
